Last night I
had an epiphany or a revelation if you will … men are just as, or if not more, attention seeking then women. Let
me take you back to last night. I had a conversation with one of my guy friends
and he started explaining his weekend “frenzy” (in his eyes). He and his
friends went to a party in Essex and popped champagne (Cristal and Dom
Perignon) in the pursuit to attract the attention of four blonde haired, blue
eyed, big boobed and massive assed women. They spent over £5000 in club; just
to get their attention. Not to give credit to £5000, it’s definitely not life
changing, but to a lot of people that’s a lot of money to spend to get the
attention of a bunch of strangers. However, this group of men felt that it was
money well spent because the women had sexy bodies and were “Instagram famous”,
meaning they had over 100,000 followers. The women were so impressed, that they
posted a picture of one of the guys on their instagram and he received
thousands of likes. This whole conversation made me think, ‘is it possible that men seek just as much attention
as women but use their money to gain it?’
You see, I
figured out why men’s attention seeking is not as obvious as women’s, it’s
simple…. Women seek attention through their bodies and sexual gestures whereas
as men use their money. Let me break it down…
Women’s bodies and sexual gestures are not seen to be of much value; men can pay for women’s bodies all over the world. The better the body the more they’ll pay! To a lot of men a woman’s body as a dime a dozen (sorry girls). In this world money talks, equalling power and respect. The fact that we see money in this way means when men splash thousands of pounds in the club, the element of attention is perceived as inevitable and not intentional, when indeed it is!

In the eyes
of men the attention they receive reflects their worth and their success and in
the eyes of women the attention they receive reflects love and affections. Both
reflections are quiet sad, but true. It begs the questions ‘are we all insecure, fearful humans seeking
approval and affirmation?’ I doubt
any of the men I described will see it this way, but I definitely do. To pay £5000 for the attention of strangers,
says it all!!!
